Choke Heating Element

  1. Disconnect battery voltage wire from the control switch. Connect an ohmmeter lead to choke housing or choke retainer screw. Touch other lead to a bare portion of choke wire connector at switch (not the battery voltage terminal).
  2. Resistance of 4-12 ohms indicates the heating element is electrically functional. Replace choke assembly if ohmmeter readings indicate an open or short circuit.
